BE A PART OF PLEIN AIR HISTORY. JOIN US FOR THE 2ND PLEIN AIR CONVENTION.

In April 2012, PleinAir magazine made history with the first convention devoted to painting en plein air, and the largest gathering of artists painting in one outdoor location simultaneously. We're doing it again, and the 2013 event promises to be bigger and even better. And, as in 2012, there are a limited number of seats available.

The 2013 Plein Air Convention is being held at the Monterey Conference Center, within walking distance of Fisherman's Wharf, Cannery Row, beautiful Monterey Bay and the world-class Monterey Bay Aquarium, and the waves of the Pacific Ocean crashing on the rocks. It's a painter's paradise.

The Plein Air Convention features demonstrations from the top painters in the world; group painting; lectures and talks on art, painting, and plein air painting; and an opportunity to meet new friends. In 2013, we're encouraging even more collectors and gallery directors to attend, and, as at the first convention, we have a few special memories up our sleeves

Unlike other events - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS.
